Introduction
This white paper covers recommended cable routing procedures for Dell™ PowerEdge™ T610
systems in the following racks:
PowerEdge™ 2410
PowerEdge™ 4210
PowerEdge™ 2420
PowerEdge™ 4220 (including wide and deep versions)
PowerEdge™ 4820 (including wide and deep versions)
If you are using the optional CMA, following these procedures will allow you to extend the system
from the rack for service without powering down or disconnecting the cables. If you are not using the
CMA, following these procedures will ensure secure attachment and strain relief of the cables behind
the system. For guidelines on how to route cables within the rack, refer to the Dell
Best Practices
Guide for Rack Enclosures
white paper.
Section 1: Cabling a Dell™ PowerEdge™ T610 With a Cable Management
Arm (CMA)
This section details how to cable a PowerEdge™ T610 system using a CMA. If you are cabling the
system without the optional CMA, refer to Section 2.
Follow the instructions contained in the
Rack Installation Guide
in the rail kit to install the server into
the rack. Once installed, use these instructions to install the cables. All illustrations in the following
sections were created using a PowerEdge™ T610 system.
NOTE: PowerEdge™ T610 systems are compatible with the PowerEdge™ T710 rails and CMAs.
1.1
Connecting the CMA Cables to the System
Attach the CMA tray to the back of the rails as described in the
CMA Installation Instructions
provided
in the CMA kit. Connect all applicable cables to the rear of the system and verify that all connections
are secure. See Figure 1.

1.2
Routing the Power Cables Through the Strain Reliefs
After you have installed the tray and cables, route the power cables through the strain reliefs located
on the power supply handles as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2: Routing Power Cables Through the Strain Reliefs
1.3
Installation of the CMA
The CMA can be installed on either the rear right or rear left side of the rails. Mounting the CMA on the
side that is opposite of the power supplies (right-side mount) is recommended; otherwise, the CMA
must be partially disconnected in order to remove the lower power supply. Refer to Section 3 for
details on power supply replacement.
NOTE: For guidelines on how to route cables within the rack, refer to the Dell
Best Practices Guide for
Rack Enclosures
white paper
.
NOTE: If you are installing fiber-optic cables in the CMA, a cable bend radius of at least 1 inch must be
maintained throughout the length of the cable
.
It is recommended that fiber-optic cables be routed
on the exterior of the cable bundle to increase the bend radius of the fiber-optic cables through the
CMA. Additionally, a large amount of slack at the entrance and exit of the CMA is recommended.
1. Install the CMA on either the rear right or rear left side of the rails by attaching both CMA housings
to the attachment brackets on the rails.
2. Route the cables through the CMA while avoiding twisting the cables. Use the hook and loop
straps on the CMA to secure the cables. See Figure 3.
3. If the cable bundle includes a keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) dongle, place the dongle inside
the CMA basket.
4. Once you have routed all the cables through the CMA, dress the cable slack between the back of
the system and the entrance of the CMA using the tie wraps (shown in yellow in all illustrations)
provided in the CMA kit.

5. Clip off the excess length of material from the tie wraps. Make sure that the heads of the tie wraps
are positioned so as to avoid interference with adjacent systems. Return the CMA to the closed
(retracted) position.
6. Extend the system out of the rack to verify that there is sufficient slack in the cables on both ends
of the CMA.
See Figure 4 for an example of a completed right-side mounted CMA installation.
See Figure 5 for an example of a completed left-side mounted CMA installation.
Figure 3: Routing the Cables Through the CMA
Figure 4: Right-Side Mounted CMA Installation (Preferred)
Cables entering the CMA should have
a small amount of slack to avoid cable
strain when the CMA is extended.
NOTE: Do not store excess cable
slack inside the CMA. The cable may
protrude through the CMA, thus
causing binding and potentially
damaging the cable.

Section 2: Cabling a Dell™ PowerEdge™ T610 System Without a CMA
NOTE: The CMA on Dell™ PowerEdge™ T610 systems is optional. Without the CMA installed, the
system must be powered down and all cables disconnected before it can be removed from the rack.
2.1
Routing the Cables
1. Connect all applicable cables to the rear of the system and verify that all connections are secure.
2. Using the hook and loop straps supplied with the rail kit, bundle the cables and secure them to
either the left or right CMA attachment brackets as described in the
Rack Installation Instructions
.
See Figure 6 for an example of data cables secured to the left CMA bracket and power cables
secured to the right CMA bracket.
3. It is recommended that the cables be secured to the outer brackets, but cables may be secured to
the inner brackets as well if desired.

Section 3: Replacing a Power Supply on a PowerEdge™ T610 System With a
CMA
NOTE: The steps described below apply to the bottom power supply only when the CMA is installed
to the left side. If the CMA is attached to the right side, both power supplies can be removed without
removal of the CMA. If the CMA is attached to the left side, the top power supply can be replaced with
the CMA in its closed (retracted) position.
1. Swing the CMA to its service position.
2. Disengage the strain relief and disconnect the power cord from the power supply.
3. Disconnect the inner CMA attachment housing from the rail as shown in Figure 8.
4. While supporting the CMA with one hand, remove and replace the power supply with the
other hand as shown in Figure 8.
5. Reconnect the CMA attachment housing to the rail.
6. Plug in the power cord, re-engage the strain relief, and return the CMA to the closed
(retracted) position.
